Simpson captained Australia's Test side at the age of 41
Former Australia Test captain and coach Bob Simpson has died aged 89.
Simpson played 62 Tests for Australia between 1957 and 1978, scoring 4,869 runs - including 10 centuries - at an average of 46.81.
He also took 71 wickets with his leg spin and was renowned as one of the best slip fielders in the game.
After initially retiring from playing in 1968, Simpson made an extraordinary comeback as Test captain in 1978 at the age of 41, after several Australian players joined the breakaway World Series Cricket competition.
